Scarlett Johansson Glams Up French Grazia
With her new movie "The Avengers" set to hit theaters on May 4th, Scarlett Johansson churned up promotions by taking over the cover of the April 5, 2012 issue of Grazia.
The 27-year-old actress looked picture-perfect as she posed for the Cliff Watts shot front page while opening up to the French publication about her split from ex-husband Ryan Reynolds.
Highlights from Miss Johansson's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Grazia!
On her fizzled out marriage with Ryan Reynolds:
"Relationships are complicated. Being married is a living process, every moment. I think I was not fully aware of the peaks and valleys ... I was not ready to hunker down and do the job. We were both very busy. We spent much time apart. It was difficult."
On the positives and negatives to her separation:
"I miss not having a partner, a confidant, but it's pretty exciting to have more time to learn and know myself better."
On not regretting her marriage to Reynolds:
"It seemed like a very romantic thing to do, and it was. It was even the best thing I've ever done."
Nicole Richie Talks Selfish Husband on "The Tonight Show"
Hitting the talk show circuit to plug her new TV show "Fashion Star" once again, Nicole Richie made an appearance on Friday night's (March 30) episode of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" at NBC's Burbank studios.
The House of Harlow designer looked darling in white as she sat alongside Jay, who complimented her attire before asking her about married life with husband Joel Madden.
Not having the kindest of words, the 30-year-old frustratedly vented, "He's very selfish. He never lets me watch the shows I want to watch. You know, he'll be totally fine... he'll be healthy and all good, then just during the thirty minutes when I want to watch the show I want to watch, all of a sudden he'll have a collapsed lung, or he can't breathe. And he's just coughing and the sneezing and the breathing and I just look at him and I'm like, 'I just need you to not breathe.'"
Then asked by Leno to name the show in which she wants to tune into when all of the interruptive behavior takes place, Miss Richie answered that her guilty pleasure is "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".
Unfortunately for Nicole, Jay isn't a fan of the Bravo reality series - as he quickly said that he sides with her man on this one.
Aside from discussing marital issues, Richie dished about her musician father, Lionel, being a frenemy, as well as her show "Fashion Star" and the pressure to be fashionable.

Lindsay Lohan: The Next 'Gleek'?
We all know she can act and she also had a short lived singing stint, so will Lindsay Lohan be the next star to appear on FOX's hit show "Glee"?
According to rumors breaking on Tuesday (March 27), the 25-year-old is apparently in final negotiations to guest star as herself as the series rounds out this current season.
If she were to take the role, Miss Lohan would be playing the part of "celebrity judge" at nationals, but at this time the actress' rep could not confirm the information.
For all you "gleeks" out there, you may remember when Gwyneth Paltrow took to the "Glee" set as a Spanish teacher who poked fun at LiLo for her stints in rehab and wild behavior, but it looks like the "Herbie Fully Loaded" starlet is not letting the past negativity sway her decision.
The new "Glee" appearance would follow her recent successful trip to the "Saturday Night Live" stage, where she hosted the comedic show for the fourth time earlier this month.

Rihanna: I'm Headed to London, BOY!
Ready for a long night of travel, Rihanna turned up at LAX Airport in Los Angeles to catch a departing flight bound for London on Monday (March 26).
Rocking a giant platinum blonde Afro-weave while oddly hiding her upper lip, the Barbadian beauty also donned a black cap with 'BOY' written in big, white letters as she tweeted prior to takeoff, "Boy talk that talk to me all night"
The jet-setting UK journey comes as a Georgia eatery named Chops & Hops landed itself in hot water after posting a photo on its Facebook and Twitter pages of a new dish with a caption reading, "@chrisbrown, @rihanna and us teamed up for a award winning celebrity sandwich. Put your hands on this caribbean black and bleu sandwich."
Continuing on with the tasteless pun, the restaurant wrote, “Chris Brown won't beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A."
Getting plenty of negative reaction to the reference of Brown's assault on Rihanna, a now former patron named Nancy Downend Ferguson posted a message in response, which read, "Cannot believe you find this appropriate. Was a loyal customer. Will never come back.”
A rep for the restaurant quickly jumped in to issue an apology, writing, “The owners of C&H would like to make sure everyone knows that we and our staff DO NOT SUPPORT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Many of us have been affected by domestic violence in some manner and realize that this is no joke. We have been involved in fundraising for Project Safe Team 6 and we fully intend on donating proceeds (times 6 -- in honor of Team 6) from the sales of the burger. C&H continues to strive for a community driven, family oriented, great food and great service environment. We will continue to be involved in our community fundraising and charities near and dear to our hearts.”
Dark Shadows Doprs Two New TV Spots: Watch Now!
Anytime Johnny Depp and Tim Burton put their heads together, it’s always a fantastic ride, and it looks like “Dark Shadows” is no different.
The forthcoming film has just released a two new television spots, and there’s plenty of quirky moments and fun instances therein.
“Dark Shadows” also stars Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller, Chloe Moretz, and Gulliver McGrath.
Per the official synopsis, “In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet--or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.”

Demi Moore's Age Defying Helena Rubenstein Ad Campaign
She’s known for her gorgeous figure and age defying beauty, but Demi Moore's looks are now making headlines for a different reason.
The 49-year-old actress is posing in a new ad campaign for Helena Rubenstein cosmetics and many people are buzzing over the noticeable differences in Moore’s facial structure and complexion.
Though Demi has been going through some tough personal battles right now, with her marriage to Ashton Kutcher falling apart as well as health problems, the photos seem to erase all signs of aging from the brunette beauty while taking her back in time to a much younger version of herself.
This is not the first time that the “G.I. Jane” star has received scrutiny over her ad efforts with Rubenstein. In a 2009 promotional spot, original photos of Moore and the end result photos looked noticeably different, as well.
Rihanna's Bird Flipping Night at Giorgio Baldi
Greeting the cameras with a double dose the bird, Rihanna was spotted giving a not-so-kind greeting to paparazzi while leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California on Friday (March 23).

After Rihanna was spotted this week making a late night trip to see Ashton Kutcher at his home, reports are surfacing that the pair have been seeing each other for eight weeks.

The duo both share public break-ups with their ex's Chris Brown and Demi Moore, so they "thought it would be best to meet in secret."
"Rihanna has told friends he's funny and cute. Both of them love a good time and think they're too busy for anything serious just yet. She's starting to enquirer about Kabbalah sessions with his rabbi," The Sun's insider adds.

Later asked by Jimmy if she's actually good with a bow and arrow (as is her lead character of Katniss Everdeen), to which Miss Lawrence replied, "I'm pretty good. I was trained by an Olympian so if I wasn't good it would be my own fault."

There’s not a lot of decisions that you make that will change your life forever. And it will never go back. I didn’t know if i was ready for my life to veer in this direction yet."
Life-changing may be an understatement thanks to the anticipation of the upcoming film and, when asked if she was ready for the amount of fame to come, Jen explained, “I’m as ready as you can be.

Carrie Underwood Covers Self April 2012
Fresh off of the release of her debut single "Good Girl" from her fourth album titled Blown Away, Carrie Underwood was selected to cover the April 2012 issue of Self.
The 29-year-old country darling looked casual cute on the front page while clad in a colorful Aqua tank with J Brand/Christopher Kane pants and a Frieda&Nellie by Stacy Herzog and Sarah Reid necklace while chatting about everything from her diet and fitness plans to flirting on the red carpet with husband Mike Fisher via text messages..
Highlights from Miss Underwood's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Self!
On her fitness plan:
"I've been pretty consistent with exercise for the past several years. Growing up, I was semisporty but didn't really do much. If I'd kept on that path, it wouldn't have ended well! I'm from the South, where there's a lot of fried food, and that's bound to show."
On her pre-event diet:
"I lay off starches. I'm not a fan of the nocarb thing; you're going to get yourself in trouble that way. So I have lots of veggies and fruit but no other starches or bread."
On her food plan:
"I love eating and talking about food. I've been a vegetarian for seven years. But after seeing a friend who looked amazing and had recently gone vegan, I thought, What's holding me back? Now I'm 95 percent vegan. Sometimes you're at a birthday party and there's cake and...you know, you can't resist. My veganism is based on a concern about where my food is coming from. In my perfect world, I'd have webcams wherever food is processed so I'd know how clean it is. I'll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it, but if I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome! The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy."
On flirting on the red carpet with husband Mike Fisher via text messages:
"I get texts from Mike when I'm on a red carpet that read 'You're so hot!' I like that. Words of affirmation mean a lot to me. But my husband is also pretty conservative. When I'm wearing some outfits, he'll say, 'That dress is a little short, don't ya think?' He would never tell me I can't do or wear something or make me feel bad, but I'm a married lady now, so I try to be respectful of my husband. I want to look sexy for him, and I appreciate that he wants to look nice for me, too."
